By now, most of the country has witnessed the highlight from the first televised game, an Oregon loss. At the conclusion of the game, Oregon tailback LeGarrette Blount punches Boise State linebacker Byron Hout with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground. Not the way first year coach Chip Kelly wanted to start his season, or his coaching career at Oregon. So how did the Coach Kelly, Athletic Director Mike Bellotti and the University of Oregon handle it?

The Pope's legal problems are well known.    The Pope went to the U.S. Supreme Court to have it tossed and it was a no go.    Now, he's joined in big-brand problems but equally prominent RC Mel Gibson.

  That means that it will go to trial in an Oregon district court. In clergy sex abuse lawsuit "John V. Doe v. Holy See," the Vatican contended it was a publicity stunt and without merit since U.S. priests were not "employees" of the Vatican.    The U.S. Supreme Court did not agree with that argument.    It ruled for the suit, originally filed in 2002 by a Seattle man who claimed that Rev. Andrew Ronan molested him, to move forward.
